  Logical Fallacy: Two Wrongs Make a Right
Often, the other wrong action is of the same type or committed by the accuser, in which case it is the subfallacy Tu Quoque.
Attempting to justify committing a wrong on the grounds that someone else is guilty of another wrong is clearly a Red Herring, because if this form of argument were cogent, one could justify anything―always assuming that there is another wrong to point to, which is a very safe assumption.
Two Wrongs Make a Right needs to be distinguished from retaliation or punishment, as it would not do to condemn these on logical grounds, though they may be morally objectionable.

  "Two wrongs don't make a right" - Freethought Forum
Saying to this person that two wrongs don’t make a right really amounts to a way of saying: “This act is wrong, whatever you may think.” But that pronouncement doesn’t carry any of the satisfying weight of folk wisdom that the cliché seems to possess.
And being situationally defensible, it's not held to be wrong in that context.
Therefore, a wrong is equal to something that is wrong and two wrongs are twice as wrong as one.

On the emotional side, I attempted to appeal to her sense of right and wrong even going so far as to quote her from one of her speeches she made at a NCAA Title IX seminar in Baltimore, Maryland in 1995 and personalizing my concerns as they apply to my children.
In making this statement not only is the Office for Civil Rights attempting to pass the buck for the problem by blaming the schools that feel they must drop men’s sports for fear of being sued but they provide to these schools a reason they can use to justify it.
It is my opinion that the Office of Civil Rights of the Department of Education knows that their use of the proportionality prong to enforce Title IX is being used incorrectly and in direct violation of the original intent of the law that brought about its existence.

 Mission: Critical (Appeal to Common Practice)
Two wrongs make a right is a fallacy closely related to appeal to common practice.
Notice that "two wrongs" carries the implicit assumption that the action is wrong, but its commission is acceptable in the circumstances, while in "common practice" the suggestion is that a questionable action is made right by the frequency of its commission.
Even though the second wrong is purely theoretical here, and not even directed at you, this is still a case of the fallacy of two wrongs make a right.

 SSRN-Of Two Wrongs that Make a Right: Two Paradoxes of the Evidence Law and Their Combined Economic Justification by ...
Under the new rationale offered by this essay, the two alleged wrongs make a right since in combination they generate a synergetic mechanism that aligns, to the extent feasible, the ex ante and the ex post probabilities of transgression.
This alignment is attained by the combined, but not conjunctive, functioning of the two probabilities: the probability of the litigated entitlement and the ex post probability of the entitlement's breach.
Indeed, because the entitlement's probability functions as a misalignment-corrector for the ex post probability of breach, and not as its conjunctive companion, the two probabilities must not be multiplied in determining the ultimate probability of the plaintiff's case.

Searching for the truth in science always lead to finding out what is right or what is wrong for a particular theory and its experimental verification.
So you have a right experiment for which you draw the wrong conclusions, on which all future experiments are based and from which all conclusions are drawn and so on.

 Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right - Liberal vs Conservative Christianity
The Truth is not in who is right or who is wrong with respect to liberals and conservatives -- but rather, the degree of truth that each side possesses, and how blind each side is in their condemnation of the other.
It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.
To have compassion and make excuses for the ways of this world -- attempting to portray the path of ignorance as being OK from the perspective of the teachings of Yeshua and TheWay -- is merely the product of a defiled mind that Satan whispers to -- often telling you his name is Jesus Christ.

On the Right, we have those in particular who categorize the left-wing (as if to say all leftists think and act alike) as a group of melodramatic, unpatriotic, intellectually-superior atheists.
The reality is that no matter what decision we make in our political affiliation, the choice should be based on far more than the fallacious rhetoric of jaded party sycophants and the bias found on news programs and editorial tabloids (including this one).
My point is not for you to choose one party or ideology over another; the point is for you to know why you make that choice and understand that others may have equally complex paths to making their choice as well.
